Since 1996, the New York Film Academy (NYFA) has conducted unique and exciting intensive filmmaking and acting programs in Paris. NYFA’s film workshops are held at the French National Film School of France (La Fémis), one of the world’s most prestigious film institutes. 

NYFA’s Paris program is held in the historic Pathé Studios in the 18th arrondissement (district), within spacious classrooms, meeting spaces, shooting studios, post-production facilities, and state-of-the-art screening rooms. The school is within walking distance of the glorious cathedral, Sacre Coeur, with spectacular city views. More casually, superior fruit markets, bakeries, brasseries, and restaurants abound in the neighborhood. The other great neighborhoods, museums, and attractions of Paris are easily accessible from Montmartre.

Paris is an inspiring place to live and make films. It is the birthplace of movies, and the city still loves them most. A century after the first experiments with motion pictures took place there, NYFA students continued the tradition of challenging the filmmaking status quo.
